I don't think this is correct - we need a grace period after the
list_del to prevent new lookups. I suspect the right thing to do here
is to simply use kfree_rcu for the pg. This also avoids waiting for
whole grace periods for each deleted port_group, which might be rather
expensive.

This looks confusing - pg is the structure we just allocated, so why
do we assign it to old_pg? It seems like the above could be written
similar and more clear as:
olg_pg = h->pg;
if (pg != old_pg)
rcu_assign_pointer(h->pg, pg);

Please use two separate WARN_ONs here to know which one triggered from
the line in the kernel log.
